Shobhan Sarkar

With the excavation for "dream gold" at the Raja Rao Ram Baksh Singh's fort in Unnao yielding no result, saint Shobhan Sarkar has shot off letters to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav seeking transparency in the ongoing excavation.

While the Archaeological Survey of India was digging out nothing but broken glass bangles and pieces of rusted iron during the excavation inside Raja Rao Ram Baksh Singh fort in Unnao, seer Shobhan Sarkar on Thursday claimed that gold would be found only if he was invited to the site.

After 12 days of digging, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has not found any trace of gold under the ruins of a 19th century fort in Unnao in Uttar Pradesh.

Archaeologists have said today that they have found artefacts in the ruins of a centuries-old fort where a Hindu sage believes 1,000 tons of gold are buried, according to a dream he had.

The Supreme Court has refused to order the monitoring of the government's search for buried gold among the ruins of a palace in Uttar Pradesh, but said that it may review its decision after four weeks.

After attacking the government for allegedly ordering a treasure hunt for buried gold on the basis of a sage or sadhu's dream, Narendra Modi is trying to propitiate the followers of the sage, Shobhan Sarkar.
